[U-Boot-Users] Uboot GCC extensions / Is it possible to build uboot with a non-gcc compiler

[J.Ma]

Hi guys,
     I read u-boot 1.3.3 README and searched code generally, I guess the answer
might be sad for me. Anyway, Could anyone double-check this thing?
     README mentions that uboot uses some gcc feature, depends on some gcc
implementation. There are many 'inline' found in uboot code, but no 'attribute'
found as linux kernel.

    PS:Sorry for last email, I just type the Enter key by mistaken...
